Blurry 1980s VHS still of an elderly man with a buzz cut in a cramped, green-tinted lab, staring at an oscilloscope screen with a red flare on the right.

An elderly linguist works late in a cramped lab, tracing an erratic frequency on an old monitor. The still, pulled from consumer VHS tape, is heavily distorted by tracking noise and saturated in cross-processed acid greens and harsh yellows. A glaring orange-red light leak bleeds ominously into the frame.
